Deoxycholic acid

Description:
Deoxycholic acid, with the CAS number 83-44-3, is a bile acid that plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. It is a steroid acid, derived from cholesterol, and is characterized by its hydrophobic and amphipathic properties, which allow it to emulsify fats in the intestine. Deoxycholic acid has a molecular formula of C24H40O4 and features a steroid backbone with hydroxyl groups that contribute to its solubility in biological fluids. It is typically found in the bile of mammals and is involved in the enterohepatic circulation. In addition to its physiological roles, deoxycholic acid is also used in medical applications, particularly in cosmetic procedures for fat reduction, where it is injected to dissolve localized fat deposits. Its safety and efficacy in such uses have been evaluated, leading to its approval for specific treatments. However, like all substances, it can have side effects and contraindications that must be considered in clinical applications.
